Sneaky Dragon Listening Party – Ep. 52

Hello, partygoers!

We hope you like music as much as we do. Because why else are you here??? This week we have a lot of music with our regular mix tape songs plus seven bonus tracks!

So, grab a spot on the old divan that I got out of my grandma’s basement and let’s listen to some witch rock, horn driven art crtiques, psych pop, orchestral-alt-rock, Smile-era banjos, freak folk, and folksy death!

Department of Corections:

Yes, Dave did say The Teddy Boys! What he meant was The Teddy Bears, who are famous for “To Know Him Is to Love Him” and for its most famous member, producer Phil Spector.

Design Travesty!

By Mary’s request, here is that truly ugly cover for Arnaldo Baptista’s LSD-casualty album Lóki?:

  1. Yay – let’s hear it for the weird shit! Another fantastic show,folks. Every track was a gem and it was great to get the original mix, which flowed beautifully.

    I hope I get this in on time, I heard you say you were recording tonight. I think I loved the first half of this episode most, I forget how much I enjoy hearing music sung in other languages as the first few were. This drives home the point even further that you don’t need to know the lyrics to enjoy a song, and I did enjoy them. I think I have to once again side with Mary since “How to Recognize a Work of Art” was driven into my head with no way out. My God, what a great song and YES! very Haircut 100. I also agree with you that this sounded like a throwback to the 80’s and not unlike you, I experienced the 80’s enough to NOT want to revisit the decade of music with any sort of reminisce. It is fun to poke fun at it and it’s also fun to identify a song that sounds like it got away from that decade but really, this song was a sweet reminder of the 80’s. I’m thankful you allowed us to download the music from the show!! Even though I listened to this episode twice, I can now go back and enjoy the music as well! Very kind!! Okay, gotta go and write on the other message board now!!
